Chef, author and television personality
Anthony Bourdain has joined the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC)
Americans for Marriage Equality campaign.

In a 1-minute clip released this week,
the 58-year-old Bourdain explains why he believes America “needs
marriage equality now.”

“I've met a lot of people in my life
[from] all over the world and a common thread, the people I admire,
whoever they are, wherever they are, are people who are proud, who do
things with love, who feel a sense of responsibility to others,”
Bourdain says.

“What sensible person could be
against that?”

“The desire to love and be
responsible to another person, to commit to another human being,
these are virtues.”
